We're Married!

Our wedding day was the most amazing, special day for the both of us. We had known we wanted to get married early on while we were dating, but we also knew we needed to fulfill many of our other priorities in life before we could afford, plan, and set aside the time for our wedding day. It was never a thought in my mind that we wouldn't get married, it was just a matter of being the right time! 8 1/2 years later, that time finally came! Saying our vows and the readings that were read during our ceremony meant that much more to both of us because we didn't rush into marriage. The long courtship and long engagement really made us appreciate our commitments to one another not only as a couple, but now as husband and wife. The most memorable moment for myself during the ceremony (also one of the moments I lost it and cried!) came from the reading we selected; Union by Robert Fulghum:

Look at one another and remember this moment in time. Before this moment you have been many things to one another – acquaintance, friend, companion, lover, dancing partner, even teacher, for you have learned much from one another these past few years. Shortly you shall say a few words that will take you across a threshold of life, and things between you will never quite be the same.
For after today you shall say to the world –
This is my husband. This is my wife.

Our wedding day was exactly how I had always imagined it, and the corny saying, "It flies by!" really is true. It's amazing how fast the day went by and we wish we could relive it over and over. It was the best day ever! We appreciate so so much that all of our family and friends were able to attend and help celebrate our special day, and especially our parents for helping to make our wedding ceremony and reception everything that it was.

Here are a few photos of our favorite memories to help relive the day!
